Kristi Noem Gave Huge Contract to Company Accused of People Smuggling

https://newrepublic.com/post/207784/kristi-noem-dhs-contract-company-people-smuggling

Not surprised at all

It’s yet another black mark on Noem’s disastrous tenure at DHS. The agency shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis on her watch while carrying out the Trump administration’s violent mass deportation agenda. Noem also faced criticism for hiring an eight-day-old company for a $220 million ad campaign for ICE, spending millions on luxury jets, and buying 2,500 trucks for ICE that the agency can’t even use, among numerous other misdeeds. What other ill-advised purchases has she saddled taxpayers with?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE SMUGGLING?

When I do it, it's called human trafficking??

This is "government efficiency" according the galaxy-brained conservatives.

The US government is people smuggling and calling it deportation.

Once again I don't have any outrage left in me, or even mild surprise. Was it not obvious that "government efficiency" was a lie from the start? Or that alt-right social media influencers were too dumb and egocentric to govern anything, not to speak of insatiable greed?

But I'm glad it's coming out little by little. I'm glad they are too crazy to keep their spoils for long.
